Ledaig Single Malt Scotch 10 Year Old Whisky, 70 cl

Product Information

Finish: Sea salt crystals and bold peat smoke linger in the finish, as well as roasted coffee beans, seaweed and tobacco. The character of Ledaig from the late seventies and early eighties can often contain some very attractive tropical and green fruit notes, laced with some peat oils and delicate smokiness. The best examples of this era include the old red label 20-year-old and blue label 15-year-old official bottlings.

Comment: There is a good balance between savoury and sweet, the coastal character of the whisky is clear, it reminds me of bonfires on the beach. Its time in sherry casks has also left its mark, mingling with the peatiness without being overpowered. The second largest island of the Inner Hebrides, the Isle of Mull lies off the coast of Argyll and Bute, west Scotland. The island’s capitol is the colourful town of Tobermory, most famous for the colourfully-painted houses that overlook the harbour and for being the home of Mull’s only whisky distillery. Named after the town, Tobermory distillery started life in the 1790s, first as a brewery and then a distillery, under the name Ledaig, from the Gaelic name of the area, meaning ‘safe haven’.

Nothing in the Terms shall exclude or limit our liability for fraudulent misrepresentation or for death or personal injury resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct by us.Ledaig has only recently become widely available as a single malt after renewed investment and promotion in the 1990s and early 2000s by former owners Burn Stewart and their successors Distell.

The Tobermory distillery was reopened once again in 1979 and this time distilled two separate spirits, peated Ledaig and unpeated Tobermory. These years, as for all distilleries, were years of change. Production methods were rapidly modernising, paving the way for the mass production of malt whisky.Youngish expressions of the 1970s Ledaig vintages were bottled in the eighties and are considered the greatest examples of the early Ledaig malts. These bottlings are classics, produced in an old-style way with slower fermentation and distillation methods. Tobermory has passed through many hands and seen many opening and closings of its doors throughout its existence, but is currently owned by liquor conglomerate Distell, which acquired Burn Stewart Distillers as a whole in 2013. Burn Stewart houses other notable Scotch whisky brands such as Bunnahabhain, and a few less known brands. Despite bureaucracy of business practices, Ledaig remains a more affordable island whisky with interesting production. Ledaig 10 year is a light golden yellow in the bottle, and an even lighter more delicate lemon yellow in the glass. This makes approaching the nose quite the surprise
